Yeah it can be more limiting. Personally I got lucky and my mom's TV runs Android so I could just install a wireguard client.

I will probably at some point bridge her network with mine since I want to install a TrueNAS box at her house for remote backup. So the VPN client will be moot at that point.

    How do you go about doing that?

    Which part? For the TV there was literally a wireguard app. I just had to install it on the TV and configure the connection to my wireguard server.

    For the bridging I gave her my old router which I haven't tested but I believe should support VPN bridging. I already have her on a subnet that won't conflict with my network for that reason.
